Please, never recommend a set up based on how far away you can be and still hear it. People like that are what is ruining the hobby for other people.

 

Hitting deeper notes doesn't depend on the size of the sub, it depends on the quality of the sub and sub/amp set up. A 12 is not going to hit a "deeper" note is is going to give you the impression of a fuller sound. Its really easy to buy some junk 12's and throw a semi decent high powered amp on there and get some really full bass. I believe it was a point made before about the Hz created by different types of subs. Subs that are heard from a distance and rattle someones trunk are the epitome of a classless junkie audio setup.

 

i gotchuh, and bowtie was comparing the same exact 10" sub to the same exact 12" sub(the Fi's previously talked about), in which case i would assume he's right. we all know there are some choch 12's out there that will be outperformed by nice 8's. I've always been a fan of 10's over 12's because they seem to recoil faster for my music with double bass (less muddy) but again, that is only if you are comparing the same two subs, just different sizes

 

I was more or less just throwing out my 2 cents

 

yeah i was comparing the same name brand fi subs 10" and 12"......deff. some 10" could outperform lesser 12" but thats kinda like comparing apples to oranges when you compare a sub that cost $60 and one that cost $500........and i am sure the people that have subs you can hear a mile away think thats a hobby too

 

It's a shafty hobby. I'm not paying 1K dollars in sound system for someone else to enjoy it. Then steal it.

I ran into a snag today, blew the fuse in my distro block so I have to wait until I get a new one in. Which will most likely be the middle of next week.

 

ahhhhhhhhh......hurry up and get that dude hooked up!!! i am curious as to what they sound like....

 

Just a reminder their ported, sealed will sound much different..

 

yes sir, should be dang loud with the doors open and about 10ft away

 

Just get em in there already!!!

You are helping me decide if it's worth the money to get the Fi's or :

used Orion HP12's : $190 shipped (pair) also cool cuz i can fit 12's into the box i have with these

used Orion HCCA's 10's : $270 shipped (pair)

new Fi SSD's 10" : $360 shipped

so yea, the Fi's im sure are the best but are the Fi 10's $170 better than the Orion HP12's? are they $90 better than the pretty well proven HCCA's?
